Understanding Rhinoplasty Risks and Safety?

I’m concerned about the potential surgical risks involved. Are complications such as infection, excessive bleeding, breathing difficulties, or unsatisfactory results common, and how are these risks usually managed by surgeons?

Rhinoplasty is generally safe when performed by an experienced surgeon, but like any surgery, it carries some risks. Infection, excessive bleeding, and breathing difficulties are uncommon but possible.
Temporary swelling, bruising, or mild nasal blockage is more common during recovery. Unsatisfactory aesthetic results can occur in rare cases, and may require revision surgery.
Surgeons minimize risks by conducting thorough pre-operative assessments, using sterile techniques, controlling bleeding carefully during surgery, and providing detailed post-operative care instructions.
Following your surgeon’s guidance closely helps ensure a smooth recovery and reduces the likelihood of complications.
